We’re thrilled to announce that the ACDA Biennial Conference will return to the beautiful University of Saint Mary of the Lake campus in Mundelein, IL, next summer!

Join us as we explore myriad ways in which archivists and memory workers make their collections accessible, discoverable, and usable.

Who should attend?
The conference welcomes diocesan/religious archivists, records managers, and other archives advocates, including bishops, chancellors, and support staff. Conference sessions and workshops address archives and records management issues in diocesan and religious institutions.
